A lot of the time when McGee is in, it looks like he’s playing well, but when you look at the score, the Nuggets are losing their lead or the deficit is increasing. I still think he’s a valuable player to have, just have to get him a little more adept at playing man to man defense, establishing defensive position, etc.

Hamilton drifted towards the 3-point line instead of stopping the ball, which is what seemed to make GK mad. I think it’s pithy, can’t be too hard on a player for not perfectly defending a 4 on 1, but that appears to be what got GK so upset and resulted in Hamilton’s subsequent benching

Fri, 07 Dec 2012 13:35:37 +0000http://www.roundballminingcompany.com/?p=5142#comment-334937I watched this game again on the bspn encore, and I focused in on watching how often Brew gambles for the ball. There was a stretch in the 2nd quarter of this game where his gambles were a direct result of 4 straight buckets for the Hawks. I don’t mind a player gambling, but he does it constantly, and you know what they say about too much of a good thing.

I can’t understand why GK gives him the minutes he does because his advanced stats in +/- are not positive, and GK likes to use +/- on/off court stats. And, if you go buy production, Brew is at 12.6 and his opponent is at 15.6 for a – 3.0. Koufos is also bad in this area, his production is 15.8 and the opposing center is at 18.2 for a -2.4.

Lawsom, Iguodala, Mcgee, Miller, Faried, and Randolph are the only players on the team with a + production +/-. Randolph hasn’t really played enough minutes to judge, so his production is probably skewed quite a bit, but who really knows if it is or isn’t.

I really don’t think using +/- is a good stat to use from game to game, but in the case of Mcgee, it probably is. He has been close to or at the bottom of the league in the +/- On/Off court stat for a few years now, so there has to be something to a team being better when he isn’t in the game. I don’t see it with the eye, but the numbers don’t lie.

Fri, 07 Dec 2012 06:22:41 +0000http://www.roundballminingcompany.com/?p=5142#comment-334783CB needs time on OUR rotation. But 20 minutes or anywhere near it spells doom. He was a pivotal player in Dallas’ run, and for a reason. Dude stinks of champion. But please keep that influence on the practice floor and the bench for 32+ minutes a night. Any more than 16 minutes and his flaws are exposed. Terrible man and team defender. Still iffy at best when the ballhandler in any scenario. Get him to the paint at full speed and he’s half as good as Iggy (Which is still a great compliment) and he’s in his spot. Get him crashing the lane to put up a crazy shot, and it’ll translate to points off the the rebound or a clangitty bangitty deal. He’s got tremendous upside for a player that neither fits offensively or defensively in a traditional fundamental basketball role, and who has shown an uncanny ability to be himself and effective. He’s a terrible basketball player and an amazing basketball player just like Manimal and just like JaVale.

George should’ve closed the game with the freak squad he played in the 2nd, who turned the game around. It included CB, and andre miller, Jordan hamilton, anthony randolph, and javale. It was freakish, speedy, taught basketball and it was awesome to watch. Any other coach would play with this team, GEORGE SUXXXXXXXXXXXX. I asked the Nuggets to invite SVG or Nate Mc to no sock to work day with the team on 12/12/12. Gosh I hope so. If not, we need to trade Iggy asap, because he needs more structure to really do him. George gives zero structure except “teamness.” Last I checked, still isn’t a word. Last I checked concepts don’t win basketball games, sometimes coaches do. Think we could catch Gregg Pop?

Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:22:26 +0000http://www.roundballminingcompany.com/?p=5142#comment-334645He doesn’t need to be a starter to be successful, he’s perfect for the bench ‘spark plug’ role. When you say mistakes, are you talking about turnovers, bad shots, missed defensive assignments etc?

Because if so, there are plenty of guys on this team doing all of the above. However CB makes up for it ten fold. Besides Faried, there isn’t another guy on this squad that plays as hard as CB, and thats why he gets 22 mpg. There are plenty of teams right now that would want this guy and will pay him well this off season. Most people on this board would recognise that.

Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:12:09 +0000http://www.roundballminingcompany.com/?p=5142#comment-334643The +/- for Brewer is an unfair assessment on him. He wasn’t detrimental to the team, when on the court his teammates committed 13 turnovers to his zero. He did not gamble for steals, I have watched the game twice, he was his usual energetic self that created fast breaks and finished around the rim well. Take a closer look at the game tape.
